Redux Courg Titanium Watch – This is one fine looking watch, and with allowing four dials to choose from Redux allows the Courg to have a personal element not found in other timepieces. The case remains the same, and the movement is a reliable Seiko, but the dial and strap options mean an endless array of options. The Courg is also reasonable priced and built with quality materials such as the titanium case, and an Anti-Reflective crystal.
As a watch fanatic, I recognized right away Redux’s Courg took a big bite out of Sinn’s U1. Using that diving pedigree, the Courg is an affordable alternative with an aviation-inspired dial. The case is made from lightweight and durable titanium, and they use a reliable automatic movement by Seiko. Measuring in at 39mm, the watch is smaller than most modern timepieces, but there’s no doubt it’s still a looker. Available in four variants, the watch is available now with a reasonable retail price.

Tanner Goods FW15 Salt and Pepper Collection – Kind of hard to believe this unique textile stepped foot outside of Sweden’s military, but according to Tanner goods this unique salt and pepper woven material was strictly used only in Sweden. The Portland-based brand takes this gorgeous textile and has created a premium and detailed collection of accessories. Besides being durable water repellent the bags look and feel different from the competition. The Salt and Pepper Collection has a slick individual appeal, and the fact that it’s made by Tanner means it will age beautifully.
Tanner Goods got its start with leather, but by the looks of their latest fall and winter drop, they have a way with textiles too. Look for the Portland-based brand to drop the Salt and Pepper collection with a series of bags that blend a unique salt and pepper woven with premium leather. Engineered to original Swiss military specifications, the durable woven is made from flax and nettle divers that is then coated with DWR (Durable Water Repellent). This is the first time this textile is issued out of the Swiss Military, and is set to hit stores soon.

A lot of cool things exist only as prototypes and never make their way to the production line. The Lexus Hoverboard reveled earlier seems to be cost feasible now that a delivery date has been announced. August 5 marks the day Back to the Future nerds get closer to reliving their favorite Marty McFly scene. The Lexus Hoverboard isn’t going to be as think as the pink Mattel number, but the fact a board that hovers is being made for the public at large is so interesting news.

Reebok Question OG – I don’t think anyone will ever match the swagger of Michael Jordan, but Allen Iverson got pretty damn close. AI would skip practice, but still have handles that could break Jordan’s ankles. It was always a mystery why Iverson signed with Reebok, but the Question Low was undoubtedly one of the highlights in sneaker culture. Here, they return with the tumbled white leather, red accent, and the tint of blue in the outsoles.
It’s been two decades since Allen Iverson rocked the Question in the exclusive 76er colorway. The Reebok Question Low in red/white is back in all its original greatness. Using white tumbled leather uppers, the sneaker sports just a hint of red and is highlighted by the icy blue outsole and the unmistakable “3″ on the heel. The Reebok Question OG is available now at select Reebok stockists with a retail of $115.
